Navigating the death of a family member is never easy, but when they also happen to be your coworker/best friend – and you're two of the biggest rappers in the world, things become even more complicated. Quavo has been navigating the unexpected passing of Takeoff as gracefully as possible, and while things haven't been easy, the "WORKIN ME" artist shared in a new interview that feeling his frequent collaborators' energy moving alongside him has made things easier.
"I just feel my boy's energy. He got his chair over there, he just be kickin' it," Quavo explained. "I always kick it with him. People don't understand, but I be there. I be there in the house making sure all his stuff is straight, all his jewelry is clean. Still taking care of all his cars and all of that," the Atlanta native added, clearly wanting Takeoff to feel his respect in the afterlife.
